1961 remote repair of the Homogenous Nuclear Reactor at Oak Ridge, a film.

1961 film, 'Remote Repair and Modification of the HRE-2 Core Vessel' digitized

The Experimental Reactor was built in 1957.

From What Is Nuclear from the incomparable historian of nuclear technology. Dr. Nick Touran, Ph.D., P.E., 2023-07-05, Reading time: 4 minutes.

This is a very cool reactor design about which I haven't thought for a long time.
